Honor 5X - Advanced Camera Settings

Honor 5X packed with feature rich camera carrying 13MP rear camera with single LED flash, Sony IMX214 sensor, and 5MP front camera. Honor 5X has f/2.0 aperture on the rear camera and f/2.4 on the front camera. Honor 5X comes with advanced settings which are present in the professional camera. So it is not necessary to have a camera while carrying Honor 5X. It is good to take images by adjusting features like ISO, White balance and Image adjustment. It gives a new look to the images.

1. ISO
ISO is the sensitivity of the sensor to light. The use of ISO settings depends on the amount of light in the scene when you take the photo. With increased sensitivity, your camera sensor can capture images in low-light environments without using a flash. But higher sensitivity comes at an expense – it adds grain or noise to the pictures.

Honor 5X ISO speeds include 100, 200, 400 and 800.
ISO 100 are suitable for bright light (like outdoors on a sunny day).
ISO 200 is great for overcast or cloudy days.
ISO 400 and ISO 800 are used when the light is getting dim but it is not yet night.

To adjust ISO values Go to Camera Settings -> Select ISO


2. White balance
White balance is the process of removing unrealistic color casts so that objects which appear white in color are rendered white in the image. That is, normally white balance option is used to adjust the camera so that whites are truly white and other colors are accurate under whatever light source you are using for shooting.

Auto
White balance is adjusted automatically.

Incandescent
This Feature gives a feel like you are taking images under incandescent light bulb. If you are shooting under incandescent light, your images may be objectionably warm, with orange skin tones and whites that are not white.

Direct light
If you are shooting outside under direct sunlight, the color is somewhat neutral and tends to be warm. The Direct light setting will balance your camera for shooting under direct sunlight.

Fluorescent
Fluorescent lights have lower color temperature than those of flash lights. It has a deficit of blue, so your images will come out looking greenish.

Cloudy
On a cloudy or overcast day the light has a blue tint that can make images seem cool. When you set the camera to cloudy white balance, it adds red (warmth) to the image so it looks more natural.

To adjust White balance values Go to Camera Settings -> Select White balance


3. Image Adjustment
Honor 5X gives you tools to adjust image quality which includes levels of Exposure, Saturation, Contrast, and Brightness.
- Exposure is the amount of light per unit area. That means it is the unit of measurement for the total amount of light permitted to reach the electronic sensor during the process of taking a photograph.
- Saturation increases the separation between colors. It is used to describe the intensity of color in the image. A saturated image has overly bright colors.
- Contrast is defined as the separation between the darkest and brightest areas of the image. High contrast images will have bright highlights and dark shadows, bold colors, and show texture. Low contrast images will have a narrow range of tones and might, therefore, feel flat or dull
- Brightness is the quality of visual perception that varies with amount or intensity of light that a given element in visual field or optical component appears to send out or transmit

To adjust the levels of Exposure, Saturation, Contrast and Brightness Go to Camera Settings -> Image adjustment
